HEPZIBAH.

was a yeoman of the New England type,
living in the vine clad farm house in
West Dedham, where the twins were
born May %, 1897 Hepzibah was from
the start little heavier than Sally, but
the resemblance was SO perfect that ac-
uuaintances could only distinguish them
by mark on Hepzibah's upper lip. She
was married in 1918 to Nathan Everett,
and as he had been wounded i'll
the war of 1912 he, drew PEN
sion during life, which his widow
now receives. Sally about the same time
married Noah Cole, and SO the twins were
separated; but they regretted this SO much
that both husbands soon located in West
Dedham, where the girls were born and
have ever since resided. The Coles had
no children; the Everetts had one daugh-
ter. with whom the twins now reside.
Their parents had nine girls and three
bows, Of which family five girls still live.

the twins. All are in excellent health and
fairly active, which they attribute to the
plain fare and open air work OF their
early days. Their recollections OF early
days are of no historical value, relating
chiefly to their work on the farm, at
tendance at the country church, the old
militia musters and the like. But 1t Is OF
interest to contemplate healthy Old
couple like these and hear them recall the
merry days when they rode the farm
horses afield and did other rural work.

Three Great Evils.

The "pope's bull against the comet" is said
to have been issued by Calixtus III, who,
shortly after the appearance of Halley's
comet, in 1456, ordered that the church bells
be rung daily at the hour OF noon, and that
the supplication, "Lord, save us from the
devil, the Turk and the comet" be added to
the 1itanies. This expression has long since

In the early days only a few scholars and
priests knew how to write. It was then Gus
tomary to sign document by snlearing the
hand with ink and impressing it upon the
paper, at the same time saying, Witness my

as substitute for the hand mark, the two
forming the signature. This is the origin OF

CAGE FOR BUILDING LEVER.

There are three main piers to this bridge
the Fife pier, the Inch Garvie pier and
Queensberry pier, and upon each of these
are built huge cantilevers stretching both
ways. The Fife pier was built by means
of dams, but the other piers had to be
built by aid of wrought iron caissons,
which resemble huge buckets some seventy
feet in diameter and fifty to sixty feet
high. Everything except the rolling of
the steel plates is done on the spot, and
the engines which are used, steam and
hydraulic are numbered by the hundred.
The bridge crosses the Forth at a point
where it begins to widen rapidly into the
great firth or isthmus; thence the firth
extends fifty miles to the sea, attaining
breadth of fifteen miles. The Forth is the
third in size of the rivers of Scotland, 10
miles in length and noted for curious
bends and links, which form beautiful
peninsulas. The most remarkable series
of these is called the ''links Of Forth"
between Alloa and Stirling, the distance
in a straight line being six miles, while

Over all India, and the east generally, the
natives lose no opportunity of asking for
"buckshish." The usage is such a complete
nuisance that the word is sometimes answered
by blow; this is termed "bamboo buck
shish." Buckshish has taken up very firm
residence in Europe-may, in fact, on much
larger scale than that Of Asia, be said to have
always had an existence there. Buckshish is
very important item in the revenues of
officials who hold positions of considerable
Importance, as well as in those of their hum
bier brethren. During the recent visit Of the
shah of Persia to England that potentate dis
covered that "buckshish" was by no means

now working daily on one of the largest
bridges ever built over the Firth of Forth
in Scotland. 1t is of the cantilever type,
which is familiar in this country in the
bridges at Niagara and St. Johns, N. B.
The construction of cantilever bridges in
Great Britain is comparatively recent, the
Americans having taken hold of the prin-

this summer by the advent during the third
week of the American Association for the
Advancement of Science This association
comprises all there is that is famous in
science in America II includes distin-
guished delegation from abroad, aud as it
will be the first time this august body has ever
visited New York in its collective capacity,
the Academy of Sciences is anxious to re-
ceive and entertain them worthily.
The difficulties in doing this are two-fold.
One is the emptiness" before referred to,
of New York in August; the other is the
cost of entertainment as compared with
other Cities and especially at time when
everybody" is out of town. In this
iuncture the ladies have come to the rescue,
and formed an auxiliary committee Of one
hundred, with Mrs. Abram S. Hewitt, the
reception and entertainment of the expected
guests. This move is q very wise one, not
only becauseit secures the active cooperation
OF large number of influential women,
but also because 1t endows them with re-
sponsibilities, and makes actual presence in
New York, for some days in August, duty,
the only consideration that could bring
them.
The meetings of the committee have been
held at the house of Mrs. Sylvanus Reid, the
treasurer of the committee, and have been
presided over in the absence of Mrs Hewitt
by Mrs. Nicholas Fish, daughter-in-law of
Hon. Hamilton Fish, who Is first member.
The secretary is Mrs. Winifred Edgcrton, the
young lady who may be said to have forced
her way through Columbia College, and COM
PEELED the faculty to grant degree.
Three subcommittee have been formed
reception, finance and visiting. Such we'll
known ladies as Mrs. Cornelius Vanderbilt,
Mrs. r. Truslow, Mrs. Robert Hoe, Jr., Mrs.
Hollingshead, Mrs. Fish, Mrs. Henry Sheldon,
Mrs. Russell Sage, Mrs. Judge Dillon, Mrs. A.
B. Stone, and others, are upon them. Mrs.
Henry Herman, a generous contributor to
all good objects, Is chairman of the finance
committee.
The combined efforts of heladles auxiliary
committee will be centred in grand recep-
ton at Delmonico's. In addition, one lady
has made herself responsible for the entire
charge of complimentary trip down the
bay; and 1t is believed that Mr.. Pierre Lor-
lizard will offer to the scientists the hospi-
tality of Tuxedo Park, and at least one day
must be given to New York city itself. The
Botanic Club contemplates reception on its
own account, and other festivities are in con-
temptation or preparation. Altogether 1t is
hoped that New York, even in August, will
not be behind other cities in the welcome it
extends to its most distinguished national
body.
